Lukas 11:11

11:11 What father among you, if your ¹  son asks for ²  a fish, will give him a snake ³  instead of a fish?

Lukas 17:7

17:7 “Would any one of you say ⁴  to your slave ⁵  who comes in from the field after plowing or shepherding sheep, ‘Come at once and sit down for a meal’? ⁶ 

[11:11]  ¹ tn Grk “the”; in context the article is used as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

[11:11]  ² tc Most mss (א A C D L W Θ Ψ Ë^1,13 33 Ï lat sy^c,p,h bo) have “bread, does not give him a stone instead, or” before “a fish”; the longer reading, however, looks like a harmonization to Matt 7:9. The shorter reading is thus preferred, attested by Ì^45,75 B 1241 pc sy^s sa.

[11:11]  ³ sn The snake probably refers to a water snake.

[17:7]  ⁴ tn Grk “Who among you, having a slave… would say to him.”

[17:7]  ⁵ tn See the note on the word “slave” in 7:2.

[17:7]  ⁶ tn Grk “and recline at table,” as 1st century middle eastern meals were not eaten while sitting at a table, but while reclining on one’s side on the floor with the head closest to the low table and the feet farthest away. See BDAG 70 s.v. ἀναπίπτω 1.
